Tizen Forums

Hi nisafrost, In a couple of weeks the Intel XDK will support Tizen directly. The Intel XDK development team is working on it and it should be much improved soon. I don't have an exact release date though. I briefly trying running a game built with the Intel XDK and Tizen and the main problem that I had was that the Intel XDK and Tizen both have their own libraries for talking to the accelerometer and other hardware. One way around this would be to build a PhoneGap application, both the Intel XDK and Tizen support PhoneGap, and like I said in the near future the Intel XDK will directly support Tizen.

Hi Nick, I'm more familiar with direct canvas, which is an acelerated canvas that is part of the Intel XDK. Here's a how on using it with ImpactJS. http://www.html5dev-software.intel.com/amdocs/lib/Tutorial-DirectCanvasWithImpactJS.pdf?r=2216 In general though, my understanding is that canvases that are accelerated to work in mobile environments do so by trimming the canvas API to only those calls that are needed on a phone or tablet, and optimizing other operations knowing that just mobile support is needed. It's still in implemented in the native container that is produced by building with the Intel XDK. When the Intel XDK begins supporting Tizen, we can begin testing its performance.

The Intel XDK doesn't run on Tizen because Java is not installed on Tizen by default.
